Fry Sauce

When I was a kid my parents would dip their french fries in this horrible pink concoction of mayonnaise and ketchup. It seriously grossed me out. I liked mayo, I liked ketchup, but in true kid form, I would throw up if you tried mixing them together for me.

Then I grew up.

These days, I don’t eat french fries or burgers without my beloved fry sauce. It’s not quite as simple as my parent’s version of equal parts ketchup and mayo, but it’s 10o times better (sorry, mom and dad, but it is!) and I can not get enough of it. My kids are pretty leary of it, but the husband and I gobble it down like it’s going out of style. Circle of life and all that.

This stuff is perfect for dipping your fries in, but it’s so freakin’ amazing on burgers. If we get drive through (which we totally do more often than we should!), I order my burger plain, because no mixture of ketchup and mustard can compare to dipping your burger in fry sauce. It’s slightly sweet, totally creamy, with just a hint of tang from the vinegar.

Can’t stop, won’t stop.

We recently moved to Nebraska (like, days ago) and they have a Freddy’s restaurant there. Have you ever been? Their burgers are simply amazing! But the best part? They have a big ol’ vat of fry sauce. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to that served fry sauce. I think it’s more popular the further west you get, so I’m a little excited about our move to Nebraska now! We might not find much sweet tea, but we have fry sauce! And cinnamon rolls…seriously, Nebraska. WHAT is your deal with cinnamon rolls? They’re everywhere!

Anyway, my fry sauce recipe is super similar to Freddy’s, so if you’re looking for a Freddy’s copycat recipe, give this one a try! You’re going to love it!

Fry Sauce

This recipe for fry sauce is sure to be a family favorite! We dip fries, burgers, and chicken in this mixture. Feel free to halve the amount if you don't think you'll use it all. You can also add more or less of each ingredient until it suits your taste. I prefer it with a bit more vinegar, but the husband likes it best this way!

thanks!! i grew up in utah eating fry sauce all the time growing up and loving it, moved to texas ans tried freddys and they have the best fry sauce ever!! We go there and eat it, like the frys are just spoons to get that good stuff in your mouth! so glad to see a way to copy it at home! My husband is picking up five guys for dinner becuase we love their frys and i was telling him i wish we had freddys frysauce to go with it, he will come home happy and surprised i made some!

I work at freddy’s and our fry sauce is actually really easy to make, but these ingredients are close, but not exact. And since we make it in huge quantities, here’s the recipe for a huge vat of it, like stated in the story.

2 Gallons of mayonnaise 1 Gallon of Ketchup 1 Cup of Freddy’s seasoning salt, which is what we put on our burgers, and fries. 2 cups of pickle juice

Combine all ingredients in a giant bowl, until smooth, and more runny than chunky.

It seems to really be a hit with all of our guests, so we make 2-3 of these a day. Enjoy!

I grew up in Utah, and “fry sauce” was just part of the diet there. Now I live in Puerto Rico where “MayoKetchup” is sold in bottles in grocery stores (basically mayo, ketchup, and a bit of garlic). Love the stuff!

@Tammy. Maybe you need to be slightly less sensitive and critical. If it really offends you, find another site. I personally appreciate the humor.

i have to say in the UK we put this sauce on prawns with lettuce and call it a prawn cocktail, but i do agree it is good on fries ( chips to me) lol we call it a rose marie sauce, you thought you would lke to know 🙂

I convinced everyone I know to try this fry sauce……………we kicked it up several notches by adding Franks hot sauce. Not one person has gone back to the simple side of ketchup. Oh and I use cider vinegar,

I have never eaten at a Freddy’s, so I have no idea about their menu offerings. However, I know a good dipping sauce when I see it and this sauce looks really good! Will have to this a try on my next cheat day lol!
